Clarksville, TN – It’s time for the fourth-annual Govs Fest! Get ready for a fun-filled evening as the Austin Peay State University (APSU) athletics department hosts Govs Fest, presented by Fortera Credit Union on August 22nd, 2025, from 6:00pm-8:00pm on Maynard Family Field at Fortera Stadium.
Bring the whole family for a night of free fun with Clarksville’s Hometown Team as we kick off the 2025 fall athletic season!
